THERE has been progress in the ongoing talks between Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Muda on cooperation in the 15th general election, PH chairman Anwar Ibrahim said.

Anwar, who is also PKR president, said viral media reports claiming PH had rejected Muda were not true.

“Not true (we rejected Muda). We are still negotiating and there is progress,” he said briefly to reporters after the PKR central leadership council meeting at the party headquarters in Petaling Jaya last night.

Anwar had earlier chaired the meeting, which began at 9.40pm. Also present were party deputy president Rafizi Ramli, vice-president Aminuddin Harun, women’s wing chief Fadhlina Sidek, youth chief Adam Adli and other council members.

Meanwhile, PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil expects a final decision on the cooperation between PH and Muda to be reached as early as tomorrow.

According to him, the meeting, which was held following the dissolution of parliament, among others discussed PKR election machinery preparations as well as the party’s desire to contest in more parliamentary seats in the upcoming polls.

Fahmi added that with parliament now dissolved and the general election to be held soon, several scheduled events, such as the PH convention, may either be brought forward or postponed. – Bernama, October 11, 2022.
